Sillabub (Syllabub)

I am reading The Borrowers with my students.  Every time we read a chapter, the students write down words they don't know the meaning of, and then we look them up in a dictionary or on the computer.  Usually I know the meaning of the words, but today, I did not!  "Sillabub" came up in the book, and we all though, "Hmmm!?"  We looked it up, and it means: A spiced hot milk with rum or wine.  The kids all went, "Ugg!!" whereas I thought in my head, "That sounds quite nice!" :)  Love learning new things!


(Apparently these are sillabubs (or syllabubs) - though I really wouldn't know...) :)
